Dear Editor:

Your cditorial of Jan. & concer-
ning the cagle nesting site in North
Vancouver District was incorrect
on several points.

Firstly, the cditerial stated that
Che district had frozen continued
development of a 146-unit housing
project. In fact, only 14 lots are

Cove people

not ‘refined’

Dear Editor:

Just for the fun of it | decided to
go to the public information
mecting concerning the Matsumoto
residential development.

It was quite enlightening to see
that the ‘Cove"’
really the refined fot that they
endeavor to appear. This was
made apparent when a courageous
soul stood up and tricd to make a
point not in harmony with the ma-
‘jority of those in attendance.

His point was taxes and how the
Save Our Shores (SOS) proposal
would not’ amclicrate our tax situ-
ation one little bit. I agree.

It seems that there are three
parcels of land in this arca, Mr.
R.A. Killen Jr. of the SOS
Organization seems to think that it
should be no problem for the
district to procure these pieces of
land at two million a pop and turn
them into park land. Six million
dollars and that is just the cost of
acquisition not to mention im-
provements and maintenance. it
seems to me like a lot of moncy to
spend on the people of Roche
‘Point.

Perhaps these anti-change pco-
ple are right. | say leave the land as
waterfront industrial. The district
could generate tax dollars from the
site by encouraging a nice low-
profile container facility or
perhaps a coal or sulphur loading
area.

being held of f the market.

Secondly, the editorial stated
that the nesting site was unoc-
cupied. En fact, the nest is being
used from time ta ime as is nor.
malin this pre-nesting season,

Thirdly, the editorial setted that
the delay of the Roche Point
development will scare off further
development. [a fact, the district is
in # process of marketing over
1,000 lots in Roche Point, Indian
River, McCartney Woods and
Kilmer Creek.

Fourthly, the editorial described
the efforts to preserve a 100-metre
buffer zone around the nest as
“environmental extremism dr
fact, the buffer sone as supported

people are nol .
